give initial data to fragments (with page adapter)

Question

I have a problem,I want to send one argument extraData from my activityVenteActivity to one of his fragmentPageAdjuFragment at the creation of the activity. I have 3 fragments on this activity for slide between them, for the moment I work only on PageAdjuFragment.

I see on stackoverflow how to use newinstantiate() for passing a bundle in argument for a new instance of PageAdjuFragment but that don't work for me :(.

You can see here my activity:

    public class VenteActivity extends FragmentActivity {

    private PagerAdapter mPagerAdapter;

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        super.setContentView(R.layout.viewpager2);
        creationPage();
        //Recovery
        Intent sender=getIntent();
        String extraData=sender.getExtras().getString("message");
        Log.v("nivyolo",extraData);//this is the argument which i would send
        //Sending
        PageAdjuFragment.newInstance(extraData); // the problem start here
    }

    public void creationPage() {
        // Creation of the list
        List<Fragment> fragments = new Vector<Fragment>();
        // Add Fragments in a list
        fragments.add(Fragment.instantiate(this,PageOffreFragment.class.getName()));
        fragments.add(Fragment.instantiate(this,PageAdjuFragment.class.getName()));
        fragments.add(Fragment.instantiate(this,PageNewPartFragment.class.getName()));
         // Creation of theadapter 
        this.mPagerAdapter = new MyPagerAdapter(super.getSupportFragmentManager(), fragments);
        ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) super.findViewById(R.id.viewpager2);
        // Affectation on the ViewPager
        pager.setAdapter(this.mPagerAdapter);
    }

    }

My fragment that I want to pass an argument to the creation

    public class PageAdjuFragment extends Fragment {

    public static PageAdjuFragment newInstance(String vente) {
        PageAdjuFragment myFragment = new PageAdjuFragment();

        Bundle args = new Bundle();
        args.putString("vente", vente);
        myFragment.setArguments(args);

        return myFragment;
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
            Bundle savedInstanceState) {



    //   super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        final View v=inflater.inflate(R.layout.page_adju_layout, container, false);
        final Button b=(Button)v.findViewById(R.id.btconf);
        final RadioGroup radiopmt = (RadioGroup) v.findViewById(R.id.radiopmt);
        final RadioButton rb1 = (RadioButton)v.findViewById(R.id.rb1);
        final RadioButton rb2 = (RadioButton)v.findViewById(R.id.rb2);
        final AutoCompleteTextView tv1 = (AutoCompleteTextView)v.findViewById(R.id.actv1);
        final AutoCompleteTextView tv2 = (AutoCompleteTextView)v.findViewById(R.id.actv2);
        final EditText tv3 = (EditText)v.findViewById(R.id.edt);

    ////START PROBLEM////////    

        String vente;
            // Recovery of the parameter
            Log.v("adju","before recup"); 
            Bundle arg = getArguments(); // the problem

            Log.v("adju","after recup"); 
            if (arg == null) {// all the time arg is null
                Log.v("args","arguments is null ");
                vente = "yolo";
            } else { 
                Log.v("args2","arguments not null ");
                vente= arg.getString("vente");
                Log.v("nivyolobonnepage",vente);

            }    
            tv3.setText(vente); //just a test


    ////END PROBLEM////////     


        //Data adaptation on TextAuto 
        List<String> OBJET = null;
        List<String> PARTI = null;
        try {
            OBJET = InitObjet();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        try {
            PARTI = InitPart();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, OBJET); 
        tv1.setAdapter(adapter);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter2 = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity(),android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, PARTI); 
        tv2.setAdapter(adapter2);

        Log.v("papaouté","ici");        //Listerner Boutton Confirmer



        b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {...});

        //Listener on the widget value's changes
    tv1.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {...});
    tv2.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {...});
        tv3.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {...});
        radiopmt.setOnCheckedChangeListener(new OnCheckedChangeListener() {...});



        return v;
    }




    //Create the List of object
    public List<String> InitObjet() throws IOException{...}

    //Create the List of participant
    public List<String> InitPart() throws IOException {...}

    //Write in the CSV FILE "achat"
    public void ecrire() throws IOException{...}


    }

And finally the Page Adapter

    public class MyPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    private final List<Fragment> fragments;

    //On fournit à l'adapter la liste des fragments à afficher
    public MyPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm, List fragments) {
        super(fm);
        this.fragments = fragments;
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int pos) {
        return this.fragments.get(pos);
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return this.fragments.size();
    }
    }

and the wiewpager2.xml

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/viewpager2">
    </android.support.v4.view.ViewPager>

the logCat

05-14 10:13:51.919: V/nivyolo(10005): vente1
05-14 10:13:52.169: V/adju(10005): before recup
05-14 10:13:52.169: V/adju(10005): after recup
05-14 10:13:52.169: V/args(10005): arguments is null 
05-14 10:13:52.209: V/papaouté(10005): ici

The argument arg is always null

Answer 1

PageAdjuFragment.newInstance(extraData); // the problem start here

Yes there is your problem, because you're instantiating a Fragment and are not using it.

public class VenteActivity extends FragmentActivity {

private PagerAdapter mPagerAdapter;

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    super.setContentView(R.layout.viewpager2);
    creationPage();
}

public void creationPage() {
    // Creation of the list
    List<Fragment> fragments = new Vector<Fragment>();
    // Add Fragments in a list
    fragments.add(Fragment.instantiate(this,PageOffreFragment.class.getName()));

    //Recovery
    Intent sender=getIntent();
    String extraData=sender.getExtras().getString("message");
    Log.v("nivyolo",extraData);//this is the argument which i would send
    //Sending
    Fragment frag = PageAdjuFragment.newInstance(extraData); // no problem anymore
    fragments.add(frag);
    fragments.add(Fragment.instantiate(this,PageNewPartFragment.class.getName()));
     // Creation of theadapter 
    this.mPagerAdapter = new MyPagerAdapter(super.getSupportFragmentManager(), fragments);
    ViewPager pager = (ViewPager) super.findViewById(R.id.viewpager2);
    // Affectation on the ViewPager
    pager.setAdapter(this.mPagerAdapter);
}

}

That's it. :-)

And why are you using Fragment.instantiate()? It's the same as using new Fragment(), but adds performance loss by using Java Reflection (approx. 2 times longer than using plain constructor). Better use the empty constructor or Fragment.newInstance(), if you defined that static method.
